Winemaking

Manual harvesting with selection of the bunches, at the most optimal time for phenolic ripening.

Soft pressing and selection of the different fractions of must. Malolactic fermentation in steel and transfer to first passage French oak barriques for 15 months (December 2013 March 2015), periodic batonnage on the fine lees. Blending of the three wines and further refinement for 6 months (September 2015). It rests in the bottle for 6 months before being placed on the market.

Gastronomic pairings

First courses with tasty meat sauces, well-spiced or long-cooked moist roasts, mature and blue cheeses, chocolate desserts, meditation wine.

The wine

Intense and deep ruby red color.

On the nose, the characteristics of the three vines harmonize to give a great olfactory impact, in which blackcurrant, black cherry and blueberry are linked to clear notes of cocoa, tobacco and coffee, a balanced impact of the aging in wood which contributes with light ethereal hints.

The taste is full, the complexity and the pulpy consistency of the volumes are refined, soft tannin and acid presence make the tasting fascinating both on a tactile and gustatory level.
